(Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Shinya Shimojo; hereinafter “AMATELUS”) and the Japan Volleyball Association (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Kenji Shimaoka; hereinafter “JVA”) have collaborated to provide an innovative video viewing experience in competitive volleyball by utilizing AMATELUS’ patented free viewpoint video technology “SwipeVideo.”

 

The purpose of the agreement is to provide and expand innovative video viewing experiences in volleyball, to use SwipeVideo in order to improve the technical skills of volleyball players, and to create and plan new business opportunities utilizing Swipe Video.

Details of the Alliance

 

JVA participated as a collaboration partner in the “INNOVATION LEAGUE Acceleration(*),” which was implemented by the Sports Agency in collaboration with SPORTS TECH TOKYO from July 2020 to February 2021. AMATELUS was selected for the acceleration program. After conducting a series of demonstration experiments in the 2020/2021 V.LEAGUE and the 2021 Volleyball Men’s National Team Internal Match, AMATELUS has now entered into a strategic business alliance with JVA.

 

The partnership is expected to be used as a platform for distributing free-viewpoint videos of matches on the web, training videos for form/technique checks, and commemorative photo shoots at events, both in Japan and abroad. Under the current situation where events are being held without spectators and the number of spectators is limited due to COVI19, we see this collaboration providing customers with “a multi-angle viewing experiences,” “viewing experiences as if you were there,” and “viewing experiences from angles that are not usually available.”
